WriterofReapers Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Indeed, plenty of people die in GC.You know, something that confused me a bit was how the virus had progressed so far with Hare. Her Void was clearly powerful, so I doubt she wasn't getting the vaccine. Maybe she was too kind and gave her dosage to other people... :shrug: Quote ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Guilty Crown is starting to feel like Madoka Magica, with major characters dying left and right. :PAlthough probably my least favorite death besides the most recent one was Dan, he was my favorite out of all GHQ. He was actually pretty comical, but he died to save Haruka (who played a somewhat large role in delaying the second Lost Christmas.)Also notice Haruka by the Endlave pods? I wonder if she's one of the pilots now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dragon Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 My guess is that those Endlaves were piloted at that moment, and that she was just overseeing the programmes. Mostly because I don't see her piloting a Endlave. Quote ~Blue Dragon~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WriterofReapers Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm only on episode 11 of Madoka Magica, but I will agree with you on that one. :PI'm pretty sure she was just overseeing the pilots/programs/equipment. Of course, I wouldn't be at all surprised if she piolted on in a future episode. Quote ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 She could be a pilot, although I remembered the part when the shot down Shu's clone, so I'm sure she isn't.Anyways It will hopefully keep getting better through the rest of the series.

Hodor Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Put Macross 7 on hold (at episode 21 of 49), and started watching Macross Frontier. On Episode 3 so far. I'm enjoying it, though not as much as I did the other entries of the franchise I've seen (DYRL, Macross II, 7, and Plus).As for a list of anime I've seen... I actually DO have a near-complete list. I've seen roughly... 123 TV series, 49 OVAs , 69 movies, 22 specials, clocking to an episode count at 7,145 and a total of 263 seperate enteries. That I remember.So... Yeah.

Terminus Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just carefully rewatched the second Guilty Crown OP, turns out Haruka was wearing the endlave pilot suit.So she does pilot one of those special endlaves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WriterofReapers Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Haha, I always wondered what that was. Of course, my curiosity was outweighed by my desire to see the next episode as quickly as possivle, so I never actually made the effort to get a better look at it.Nice find, Terminus.

Terminus Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I was watching the opening, and Haruka flashed by in the suit, paused to get a better look at it (it's only onscreen for less than a second).And the second release of Bakuman was delayed... WHY IS ALL THE ANIME I WANT GETTING DELAYED?!?! Edited February 4, 2012 by Terminus24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mef Man Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Well, I would really just like to start off with a normal Anime that doesn't deal with anything that would be banned on BZP.

BenLuke Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Another recommendation: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Here are a few of my personal favorites (In no real order):Soul EaterNeon Genesis Evangelion/Rebuild of EvangelionSchool RumbleFull Metal Panic!Gurren LagannAngel Beats!TrigunPretty much everyone I know who likes anime has seen these and enjoyed them quite a bit. Also, I'd suggest maybe picking up a copy of Shonen Jump Magazine (It's got 2-3 issues left, so I wouldn't reccomend subscribing), it does have a nice selection of manga (5 main series and usually a preview of a series), and it's how I really got into anime/manga.Also: I can see you are a Final Fantasy fan. As a warning, DO NOT watch Final Fantasy Unlimited. It has almost no connection to the games. Plus it is just plain awful.Anyways, I'm looking forwards to vacation in a few weeks... Haven't had any time to finish Trigun, I've mainly been reading a little bit of manga in my free time, just got Bakuman volumes 7-9, glad to finally be caught up...

Terminus Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anyways, I've seen this week's Guilty Crown. Just when I thought it was going to get great...Shu becomes a soulless dictator.Inori finally cracks and pretty much becomes exactly like Mana.Gai was revived (his death was the best thing about episode 12).HARUKA IS EVIL!!!Well, it's not even halfway through the second arc, so who knows how it will turn out...I feel this series is now hit-or-miss, with very little in-between room.

This is also a part of the reason she killed Kuhouin.Also, I do not really like that fact that the series just start killing off it's characters, above described death being a blatant example. I don't really know what to think of Guilty Crown at the moment. General thoughts flux between 'awesome' and 'why in the name of everything did they write a plot like that?'

Terminus Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if Mana took over Inori's body. Especially because of the scene a couple of episodes where she completely beat a group of school kids into a bloody mess, not something I'd think Inori would do.Anyways, I completely agree that the series goes between Awesome and awful. Do hope it doesn't suck that much more (or at all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dragon Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 She would, actually. She was threatened three to one at that moment, and she had a gun in her reach. While it could be said that her reaction was disproportionate to the thread, I do understand her reaction. It certainly didn't help that the general order was non-existent at that moment. Quote ~Blue Dragon~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Meh, I'd think she wouldn't completely destroy some rather innocent kids who posed almost zero threat to her, that would seem like a Mana thing. I'm pretty sure that Mana slowly started taking over Inori since the Shu/Mana battle earlier.Anyways, I do like the story continuity of the second arc much better than the first, the first felt a bit too random for me, while now it has very good continuity.

It's a huge improvement over the original (which was amazing), and I'm not surprised over 1000 scenes were changed. I'm going to see the Episode: Denzel OVA soon, it seems great.Also got volumes 4-6 of NGE: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project.
